It was the first Beatles single not to make No.1 in the UK since 1963, held off the top by Engelbert Humperdinck’s ‘Release Me. The weather was lovely but we needed to go up to the garage to sort out the motor problems. We drove home for a bite to eat and then we set off for Anne's Spanish class in Alfaz del Pi.
